Okay, so, I’ve been dating this Capricorn guy for a while now, and things have been pretty good overall. But sometimes, I get this feeling like he’s trying to low-key control things, you know?
So I started to pay more attention to his behavior. Like, he’s got these super high expectations, not just for himself, but for me too. At first, I thought it was cool, like, he’s driven and stuff. But then it started to feel a bit much. Every time we hang out, he’s already got the whole thing planned out. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate a man with a plan, but sometimes I just wanna chill and see where the night takes us.
- He’s also a stickler for routine.
- Like, we always have to eat at this certain time, go to bed at this certain time.
- And his place? Spotless. Like, military-grade clean.
I tried talking to him about it, but he just kinda brushed it off. He says he’s just trying to keep things stable and organized, which I get. But sometimes it feels like he’s trying to control everything around him, including me. And the way he talks, it’s very direct, almost critical sometimes. I confronted him about this, too. He said he wasn’t being critical but that he was just communicating directly. I don’t know how to feel.
Then I decided to dig a little deeper. I did some reading online about Capricorns, and it turns out, this need for control is kind of a thing for them. They like to have a firm grip on their lives, and I guess that extends to their relationships too? It’s like they have this fear of chaos, so they try to create order in any way they can. I mean, I found some articles saying Capricorns are control freaks. Is that true?
Deeper Look
And he’s not mean or anything, I realized. Actually, when you get past that tough exterior, he’s pretty sweet and caring. Maybe this controlling thing is just his way of showing he cares? But I also learned that they are just reserved and have a protective shield. So I decided to talk to him again about it. It was a serious talk that made us open up to each other more.
It’s still a work in progress, but I’m starting to understand him a bit better. I also understood that Capricorns are just determined and practical. We’re learning to compromise, and he’s making an effort to loosen up a bit. I guess relationships are all about understanding and adapting, right? Just sharing my experience here, maybe it can help someone else dealing with a controlling Capricorn, haha!
